The 4 E's

Clearly we need all public services to be:

Effective

Efficient

Economic

But we also need them to be

Elastic

An Open Space balloon escapes...

And there was a discussion on how it could be brought down. My suggestion was to release the 'O' as well in the hope of luring a passing giant wanting to play noughts and crosses (tic tac toe for those who speak American English). The 'winning' suggestion was to find the lightest person in the group, tie all the other balloons to them and send them to retrieve it. How would you bring it down?
